【HP】I don’t want to fall in love, I just want to mess around

A few minutes later, they were sitting with Harry in a nearby park.

The pizza you brought was lukewarm, and not eating it meant it would become completely cold in a few minutes.

But Harry didn't care about that.

He ate the pizza and felt very satisfied.

He just learned from Justin and Ernie why they were here.

Because I thought of him when I went out to play, I took the train to look for him.

No wonder others say Hufflepuff is the kindest and most loyal companion, and he realizes it now.

Just because I wronged him last semester, when I went out to watch a movie, I found that it was not far from where he lived, so I bought a gift for him.

This feeling of being taken into consideration by others moved him extremely.

But he still had some questions: "How do you know where I live?"

Of the three, he only had more contact with Esther, but he did not tell her his address.

Could it be Hermione or Ron who told her?

Esther smiled mysteriously.

Not only does she know his current address, but she even knows how many children he will have in the future. Will they be boys or girls?

But of course she couldn't say this, she just said very calmly: "I think I heard Ron or Hermione say something, but I don't really remember."

Harry didn't ask too much. Compared to this, he was more curious about another thing: "How did you know that my uncle's company had a problem? And is the phone number you left real or fake?"

Not only Harry was curious about this question, but Justin, who didn't know the truth, was also curious.

Only Ernie, who knew her family situation, didn't care much.

Although he was very full at lunch, he was hungry again after trudging all the way here, and now he was sitting on the swing eating the bread specially sold by Esther.

Esther was also sitting on the swing. She swayed the swing slowly, making a shallow arc.

"Of course it's true. My grandfather was a Muggle who was in business. I happened to go back to my grandfather's house some time ago and I happened to know about your uncle's company. So everything is such a coincidence. This may be Merlin's arrangement. "

...that's weird.

Ernie and Justin didn't understand Harry's situation, but she did.

One of the concerns that prevented them from coming to find Harry was that she knew that Harry's aunt and uncle didn't like wizards. Harry's situation was already more difficult, and their rash visit was likely to cause him even more trouble. positive effect.

So how can we minimize this bad impact?

Esther's initial thought was simple and crude, just threaten the Dursleys directly. Anyway, with Dumbledore here, they couldn't really do anything too outrageous to Harry.

But after thinking about it, she remembered that Aunt Petunia was a very contradictory person in the original work. In the early stage, she appeared as a bad aunt, but it was not until the revelation of her past with her sister Lily that the character became richer and fuller.

Anyway, Esther felt that her feelings for Harry must be complicated. On the one hand, part of her jealousy towards her sister was projected onto Harry; on the other hand, she didn't really care about her sister at all.

As for the reason why she hates wizards so much, besides being partly caused by love and hatred, is there another possibility: It is precisely because her sister died in the bloody storm of wizards that makes Petunia hate wizards and wizards even more. Anything to do with wizards?

And Petunia seems to be very clear about Harry's situation. She is not ignorant of magic, but because she was rejected by Hogwarts, she angrily shut out everything related to magic.

Since she could muster up the courage to write to Dumbledore when she was a child, recommending herself to study at Hogwarts, it shows that Aunt Petunia is a courageous person. If Esther really threatens her, she will turn to Dumbledore. Lido wrote a letter to complain?

It was not impossible, so threatening this path was not worth the gain, and was quickly passed by Esther.

Since the Dursleys are all Muggles, it would be best to use Muggle methods to solve the problem.

So she came up with this idea.

Help them solve a problem and maintain their "decent" family life. At least they won't dare to go too far with Harry in the future, right?

Of course, this was impossible to say, but at least Harry wouldn't be angry at their sudden visit.

Harry didn't know what she was thinking, but he still thanked Esther: "Thank you, and of course thank you Ernie and Justin. Thank you for coming to see me. I also like the gifts you brought."

He smiled slightly, and the emerald green eyes hidden behind his glasses were curved, like two lakes reflecting the boundless mountains.

Esther sighed in her heart, no wonder Professor Snape couldn't forget these green eyes that looked like Lily's. They were so beautiful, no one else would be able to forget them!

"You're welcome, as long as you like it." Ernie stood up proudly after hearing what he said, as if being thanked by him was something to be proud of.

Justin was also very happy, but after laughing, he sighed helplessly: "To be honest, your aunt's attitude towards you is so bad. They seem to hate wizards very much? Why?"

Harry took another bite of pizza, his eyes dimmed a little after hearing this, and he shook his head silently and said, "I don't know, anyway... I just hate wizards. Maybe it's because I'm a wizard. They hate me, so they hate me." Hate all wizards."

Hearing what he said, Ernie was shocked: "Huh? Aren't they treating you badly? Do they beat you? Otherwise, don't live with them."

Harry didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to shake his head silently: "They didn't beat me, but they didn't treat me well. I had to help them with housework, and I never had enough to eat. To be honest, thank you You brought food here, but I didn’t eat much at lunch.”

Ernie and Justin were both shocked by what he said. The look in Harry's eyes was a little strange. The admiration at the beginning turned into pity.

"Oh my god, isn't this abuse? We can go to the police station and report the crime! My dad has many lawyer friends, and I can ask them to help with the lawsuit."

Justin was as indignant as if he was the one being abused.

Ernie also said: "Why don't you stay at your aunt and uncle's house? Esther's family has many houses in the Muggle world. Let her arrange a place for you."

Esther:? ? ? ? ? ?

Harry was touched that they thought of him so much, and he felt so warm that he didn't know what to say.

But he knew that he would have to stay with his aunt for some time before coming of age, so he declined their offers.

Originally, Harry thought that after rejecting, Ernie and Justin would ask why, so how should he explain this to them?

But Ernie and Justin didn't ask further questions, they just looked at each other and said that since it was Harry's choice, they would stop asking.

While this made Harry feel relieved, it also made him feel the difference between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. If he were a Gryffindor classmate, he would definitely ask more questions.

It's not that Gryffindor is bad, Harry is also a Gryffindor, and he certainly doesn't hate his own house.

It's just that sometimes, Gryffindor's passion is like a fire, while Hufflepuff's is relatively mild.

Anyway, he was lucky today.
